Actually Google absolutely loves to see a second/backup mentor. In 
fact we have to fill in a question on the registration form about how 
we plan for and organise backup mentors.

You do need a "primary" mentor though, and there can be only one of 
those. You can have as many secondary/backup mentors as you like. 
Indeed, last year the Trie project had three mentors! All mentors get 
T-shirts and can be funded to attend the GSoC mentors conference! :)
